I am ready for love,

why are you hiding from me

I'd quickly give my freedom

to be held in your capitivity



I am ready for love,

all of the joy and the pain

and all the time that it takes

just to stay in your good grace



lately I've been thinking maybe you're not

ready for me,

Maybe you think I need to learn maturity

they say watch what you ask for 'cuz you might receive

but if you ask me tomorrow, I'll say the same thing



I am ready for love,

would you please lend me your ear

I promise I won't complain

I just need you to acknowledge I am here



If you give me half a chance

I'll prove this to you

I will be patient, kind, faithful and true

to a man who loves music

a man who loves art

respect the spirit world and thinks with his heart



I am ready for love

if you'll take me in your hands

I will learn what you teach

and do the best that I can



I am ready for love

here with an offering of my voice

my eyes, my soul, my mind

tell me what is enough

to prove I am ready for love



I am ready
